Lu Sheng quickened his pace, and the two of them brushed past each other. They quickly turned a corner, and the strange gaze disappeared behind them.
Walking along the street, Lu Sheng quickly arrived at the building he had just purchased.
He swiped the key card, walked in slowly, and quickly climbed up the stairs.
'Deep Blue,' Lu Sheng called out in his mind.
The light blue interface suddenly popped up in his field of vision. The top of the interface displayed his remaining Mental Energy.
'Mental Energy: 564.81 million.'
Behind it was a series of tiny numbers. These were the Mental Energy he had accumulated for so long, and the Mental Energy he had obtained from the endless Scale Stone Mine.
'I thought it would be enough. From that Venaga level, I can see that the individual combat power in this world is indeed very high. If I want to quickly gain a foothold, my previous strength is no longer enough. '
Lu Sheng knew very well that if there were two more Venaga level Telekinesis, he might have been defeated on the spot.
'Time doesn't wait for me …' Lu Sheng heaved a long sigh, and looked up at the azure sky.
Private flying transports would occasionally fly past the edge of the sky.
"Young man, what are you troubled about?" An inexplicable old voice came from behind Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng was slightly stunned, and slowly turned around.
Behind him stood a bald old man who seemed to be taking a stroll after a meal.
The old man wore a red long-sleeved shirt and trousers, and a dark red wooden bead chain hung on his hand. It looked like Buddhist beads. He stood in the stairwell, and seemed to be a resident here as well.
"How can you tell that I'm troubled, old man?" Lu Sheng asked calmly.
"Isn't it written all over your face?" the old man said with a smile. "To be able to fight evenly with that little Netherian monster, and even force it to retreat, I have to say, young man, your potential is not to be underestimated."
"Netherian?"
"Are you interested in having a chat?" The old man looked at Lu Sheng, and revealed a mysterious smile.
…
…
A moment later.
In a cafe in An Ming City.
Lu Sheng and the old man sat opposite each other. Apart from the two of them, there were only two lazy waiters in the cafe. They leaned against the door motionlessly, as if they were taking a nap.
The old man asked for a cup of unknown viscous dark yellow liquid and placed it in front of him. It was emitting a faint and indescribable sour smell.
Lu Sheng simply asked for a glass of salt water to rinse his mouth.
"Tell me, why did you call me here?" Lu Sheng did not have the time to beat around the bush with this person. At his current realm, the person who could approach him silently was definitely not a nobody.
"Young man, don't be so impatient." The old man smiled as he picked up his cup and took a sip. "Actually, you're unlucky to have bumped into the muzzle of a gun. The 9th Battle Zone's Nethereran is here to investigate the whereabouts of an important cadre of Blue Starlight. "
"Blue Starlight?" Lu Sheng had never heard of this name before.
"An anti-government force dedicated to overthrowing the tyranny of the Empire and redividing the aristocracy." The old man said faintly, "Don't you think that in today's Empire, the people of the lower class can't see any hope of moving up? The social class has already solidified, there's no hope and no way to move up. The lower class can only be the lower class … The ruling class can only be the aristocracy. "
"What does that have to do with me?" Lu Sheng asked.
"…" The old man's expression did not change as he looked at Lu Sheng with a relaxed gaze. "Indeed, it doesn't matter to you, but are you willing?"
"No, you can't accept it … You have an unprecedented talent for combat, you have unparalleled combat ability, why should those high and mighty, rotten nobles be able to suppress you from the moment you were born? Even if you worked hard for a lifetime, it might not be comparable to the expenses of a casual meal for them. Are you willing? "
"What are you trying to say?" Lu Sheng frowned.
"In a year's time, you've developed such a large organization. I think you're not someone who is satisfied with the status quo. So, we're here to invite you to join us. "The old man smiled again, as if the previous cynicism was just a momentary illusion.
"Who are you?" Lu Sheng asked. "What can you bring me?"
He was not a fool who would be so loyal to someone after a few words of bluffing. If there were no tangible benefits, it was impossible to get him to cooperate with them.
"We are Blue Starlight." The old man replied with a smile, "At first, we were a part of the operators that split from the Telekinesis Alliance. We were dissatisfied with the aristocracy's firm control, so we established the famous rebel organization, Blue Starlight."
He picked up the cup and took another sip.
"Later, a series of changes happened. Our organization was classified as a terrorist organization and was wanted everywhere. And … "
"Get to the point!" Lu Sheng was a little impatient.
Wasn't it just a terrorist organization? Who has the patience to listen to your nonsense when you're spouting so much personal stuff? I'll kill you if you talk nonsense!
He did not have time to play guessing games with people now.
"Alright, alright …" The old man nodded helplessly. It was not a good feeling to be interrupted when he was in the middle of a conversation.
"Simply put, we can help you eliminate the bad influence caused by this incident. However, you need to help us cover and train a group of organization members to a certain extent. Do you accept this deal? "
"Oh?" Lu Sheng was worried that the situation was developing too quickly. He did not expect someone to immediately come to his door to help.
"To what extent can you solve it?" He was a little doubtful.
"As if nothing had happened." The old man smiled.
Lu Sheng fell silent, his brain quickly turning the pros and cons.
This man had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and his very first words had revealed exactly what was on his mind at the moment.
Obviously, if they were really an organization, then their intelligence ability and individual strength should not be underestimated.
It might really be possible to solve the problem in front of him.
"How many people? To what extent? "Lu Sheng asked again.
"About a hundred people. They need to reach the physical strength level of the peripheral members under your command. "The old man requested.
"If you're sure you can solve it, then deal!" Lu Sheng nodded.
"Good! Straightforward enough. " The old man's bony palm pressed on the table, and a black triangular card appeared on the table.
"The situation will be settled soon. After that, someone with a triangular card will come to talk to you." He smiled mysteriously.
"I hope you're not messing with me. Otherwise, I don't mind breaking the necks of everyone related to you." Lu Sheng's tone was gloomy.
"Don't be like that. I can't take threats anymore. Old people are different from young people. "The old man turned his face and looked out the window.
"Life is good. Calm, peaceful, and lazy. You think so too, right? "He smiled and turned his head to look at Lu Sheng.
Then, his whole body slowly faded and disappeared, as if he was never sitting across from him in the first place.
Lu Sheng watched as the coffee in front of him cooled down rapidly. The heat on it seemed to have been sped up countless times. A second ago, it was still lingering with heat, but in the next second, it had completely cooled down.
His whole body seemed to be in an indescribably stiff state.
"Old … man …" His muscles pulsed violently, and the volcanic power inside of him battered the invisible power that had frozen him.
Lu Sheng, who was proficient in the manipulation of the five senses, instantly understood what the old man was doing.
He was manipulating his perception!
He felt time fly by. In his consciousness, several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Crack.
Suddenly, Lu Sheng's vision blurred, as if he had broken free from some sealed space.
Sitting down, he looked back at the seat across from him. The sky was already dark. The person sitting across from him had long since left, and the tea had cooled. He didn't know how long the old man had been gone.
"Interesting …." Lu Sheng staggered to his feet.
"I'm only in the Fourth Anima, but I didn't even know when my opponent made his move. No wonder he's called Star Extermination. I've learned a lot. "
Finally, he looked down at the table, where a stack of brand new bills was neatly placed.
Lu Sheng picked up the bills and sniffed them.
"I've been gone for more than four hours … Has my sense of time been affected for four hours?"
He put down the money, left his seat, and strode out of the coffee shop.
He had to go back and break through to the Fifth Anima. The Mental Energy he had accumulated should be enough. Moreover, in this world of superpowers, he wouldn't be able to achieve his goal by himself.
He needed enough time to grow, not just for himself, but for Jiumingtang as well.
He quickly returned to his room, and Lu Sheng closed the door, drew the curtains, and informed Jiumingtang to set up hidden sentries in the surroundings.
He took off his clothes, and moved the nutrient fluid and compressed food to a corner of the living room.
Then, he sat in the middle of the living room.
"Deep Blue."
The Modifier suddenly popped up, and the box on top clearly displayed it.
"Spiral Nine Life Technique, Fourth Anima — Blood. (Special traits. Skin hardening, muscle strengthening, endocrine optimization, blood mutation.)
"The Fourth Anima used up tens of millions of Mental Energy. The 560,000,000 Mental Energy I prepared this time should be enough."
Lu Sheng's mind stirred, and he pressed the Modifier button.
The entire interface of Deep Blue blurred for a moment, and then quickly became clear.
'Upgrade Spiral Nine Life Technique to the fifth level,' he said in his heart.
For a time, his body was calm. There was no movement at all.
Lu Sheng waited for a while. However, five minutes passed, and there was no reaction from Deep Blue at all.
His expression became slightly nervous.
This was the first time he encountered such a situation. Ever since he obtained Deep Blue, this ability had never disappointed him.
"What's going on …"
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The red blood mist strangely formed a blurry human figure in midair. The human figure had facial features, limbs, and looked like a miniature version of Lu Sheng. As soon as it formed, it shot out of the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lu Sheng was shocked. He was about to sense the location of the human figure in the blood mist.
Right at this moment, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out beside his ear.
An indescribably huge amount of Mental Energy compressed in his chest suddenly exploded.
He spat out several mouthfuls of blood mist again. The blood mist quickly formed human figures that flew out of the window and disappeared from his sight.
